New Zealand seamer Kyle Jamieson has dealt a body blow on Team India as he dismissed his RCB skipper and legendary batter, Virat Kohli on the first morning of the third day.
It all happened in the 68th over of the Indian innings where Jamieson went fuller and proceeded to trap Virat Kohli plumb in front of the wicket.

Jamieson had largely bowled on and around the off-stump throughout the first day with a fraction of his balls likely to have hit the stumps.
But the tall right-arm pacer made amends to his length in the 68th over and got one to jag sharply into Kohli, beating his inside edge and thudding onto his pads.
Jamieson went up straight away as did the rest of the New Zealand players and the umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger.
Kohli wasn’t entirely sure about taking the DRS and there were barely 2 seconds left when he eventually decided to send it upstairs.
However, it looked pretty adjacent to the naked eye and that was testified to the hilt on replay as it showed three reds.
Virat Kohli failed to add to his overnight score of 44 thanks to Jamieson, leaving India reeling at 4/149.
